Don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. Bodyweight exercise is fine and great - yes, I have read Building the Gymnastics Body, Convict Conditioning, and did gymnastics and martial arts, so I have a vague notion of what it is. Except that it sucks for progressive overload. Progressive overload is VERY difficult with bodyweight training. If you aren't doing deadlifts, you are shortchanging yourself. Also, if you get stuck on pullups, guess what helps? Adding weight. Finally, it can be a time saving to not clean up everything and maintain your own workout space.
